I too was diagnosed around your age. Stay connected with your doctor and tell him/her everything. I joined this support group because I had so much fear of the future. I’m doing great at 75 years because I was physically active, I have a doctor who listens and my we have found meds that work. Your journey is day by day and will improve. Ignore those people because they are not walking in your shoes and if you need to, tell them that.

Thank you for your encouraging words. It helps to hear how you are successful managing your symptoms. My greatest anxiety is not knowing what my quality of life will be from here on out. I have learned that my daily exercise routine is vital in managing my mobility and pain. I’m hoping the right medications can reduce the frequency of the bad days. Again, thank you for reaching out to me with your experience and wisdom.
